Motivational factors influencing students’ academic choices in higher education
Factors of motivation in higher education, broadly classified as intrinsic or extrinsic, significantly predict skill development and workforce preparedness driving social stability and economic growth. Since the disruptive COVID-19 pandemic, the subsequently accelerated workplace restructuring and the ensuing economic crisis in Lebanon, there have been very few studies investigating students’ motivation in higher education. The present study addr…
Normal speed versus time-compressed speech in long-term memory retention: A randomized, within subjects experimental design
The COVID-19 has accelerated the educational shift towards different modalities and media types including online resources and video recordings. Students have sometimes used this opportunity to watch lecture recordings and posted material at faster playback speed. This function was also integrated in the daily use of social media like WhatsApp. The few existing studies show conflicting results when assessing its potential learning improvements an…
Association between Bullying Victimization and Child Abuse and Muscle Dysmorphic Disorder among Lebanese Adolescents: The Co-moderating Effect of Social Support and Mindfulness
Adaptive versus maladaptive coping strategies: Insight from Lebanese young adults navigating multiple crises
Our study mainly highlights the relation between coping, uncertainty, and mental health. Although intended to help relieve tension, maladaptive strategies might worsen it instead. We emphasize previous findings to promote healthy adaptive coping strategies in times of unprecedented crises
Factors associated with posttraumatic growth: Gratitude, PTSD and distress; one year into the Covid-19 pandemic in Lebanon
Time perspective and attachment predict perceived stress in Lebanese undergraduates: The mediating role of trait emotional intelligence
BACKGROUND: Lebanese university students experience high levels of stress, which are linked to poor academic and health outcomes. Therefore, understanding the psychological predictors of this stress is crucial. The present study examines the roles of emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal factors in predicting perceived stress, namely trait emotional intelligence (trait EI), time perspective, and attachment. METHODS: The sample included 283 Leba…
Can the Phoenix still rise? Traumatic effect of Beirut port explosion on Lebanese people’s experiences
Clustering people based on emotional experiences, needs, and resources might offer additional benefits to traditional assessments that fail to detect the variability of vulnerability to mass violence within seemingly homogeneous samples. Integrating implicit and explicit responses also helps with a rapid classification, providing insight to subjective attitudes postcollective trauma. The study mostly provides suggestions for targeted outreach to …
Coping during socio-political uncertainty
Introduction Well-being of young adults is known to be compromised in times of significant changes, such as economic and political turmoil. This study focuses on university students in Lebanon during one of the most prominent social unrests of its modern history to determine potential understudied protective factors that would predict the youth capacity to strive. Methods A sample of 489 university students were asked to fill an online survey inc…
Exposure to Instagram junk food content negatively impacts mood and cravings in young adults: A randomized controlled trial
The psychological impact of Covid-19 in a socio-politically unstable environment: Protective effects of sleep and gratitude in Lebanese adults
Mental health significantly degrades post-COVID lockdown, even in the absence of direct viral threat. Yet simple behavioral and cognitive changes like sleep and attitude of gratitude could provide protective factors against these psychological distresses. Such changes should be further explored and advocated as cost-efficient self-care practices to buffer this devastating public health burden, especially in unstable socio-political environments
